The Rams are down, but not out

The Los Angeles Rams are currently struggling, sitting at a 2-3 record with their fate hanging in the balance. Despite the early season slump, the team has shown signs of progress recently. Quarterback Matthew Stafford appears more confident under center, Puka Nacua has returned from injury, and defensive star Myles Garrett (if healthy) is set to rejoin the squad by Week 9.

The 2026 Rams, once considered strong contenders, now seem to lack the self-assurance and swagger they typically exhibit. It's crucial for the team to quickly return Garrett and regain their momentum before the critical bye week, as this may be one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory if they fail to rebound.
